Customer Reviews ara Rachel

I am very happy with this purchase. As many I am on a constant quest to find the right shoes for my feet because I easily get Morton neuroma symptoms. These shoes are extremely well-made and they look really beautiful except for two aspects: The plasticy aspect of the sole as a previous reviewer mentioned. The back of the heel is not as attractive as the overall shoe design, it is square with an anti-skid pattern. So, the shoe appears to mix two styles: stylish, beautiful from the top and sides but sporty and even wintry from the back. So perhaps this shoe was designed to be elegant during the bad weather months. Though this design will ensure that the back of the heel does not get scuffed. I have been looking for a low/mid heel, brown shoe and this is it. I am very happy. It is expensive but it is beautiful and exquisitely crafted. However I will live with it because I have searched high and low for a shoe that I could wear with a skirts and pants and this is it. The brown color is beautiful and the shoes fit like a glove even though my medium 7 size feet have a bit of a bunion on one foot. The toe box is more narrow than what I usually wear - not by choice but for comfort - but the material is so supple that it is not a problem at all.

Great shoes. Recently added this color to the others I have. Very versatile - for business and casual. I do a lot of walking and these shoes hold up to the concrete and hills of San Francisco. If you want stylish shoes that can go from a work suit to jeans, these are an excellent choice.

Perhaps the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. Excellent shoe. Will order another pair.

These shoes and the brown one are the most comfortable and dressy shoes ever. They fit perfectly for my number and medium-wide feet. I did find Ara through these shoes and ended up ordering other styles and other colors, winners all the same. Plus Zappos, which is, like, the best thing ever!

I hate to buy shoes because I'm very hard to fit...narrow heel with a wider front because of a bunion. These shoes are very comfortable and that is why this is my second pair. Considering how expensive they are, the negative is that they don't wear well. I bought my first pair in October (I do where them almost every day) and this is March and the sole and heel are worn. There must be another shoe that is less expensive and comfortable...I'm looking. I gave it 5 stars because it's rated on comfort and style and for that it gets 5 stars. But for quality I'd give it 3 stars.

These are very good-looking and well-made shoes with a lot of attention paid to details. I liked the style so much, I bought 2 pairs.

VERY CLASSY! This shoe is gorgeous in person! So very classy. It is extremely comfortable and feels like walking on pillows! I love it!

Great shoe!!! Comfortable, stylish shoe!!! Wear with jeans or office clothes.

From the minute I tried them on, wow! I needed a shoe that would take a lot of airport walking, still be comfortable and look sharp for business. I'm buying 2 more pair! Love the colors too! I weigh 300 lbs., and have one bad ankle with excess swelling, and they still fit great.

Wonderful shoes! Comfortable and well-made. Unfortunately, too wide in the heel for me.I usually wear a size 9 but the 9 1/2 fit was just right in length.

I've worn these twice now. The first time, they were tight in the afternoon when my foot swelled. The second time they were just perfect. I purchased my normal size in these. Plenty of toe room, comfortable insole. I am very pleased with this shoe. This is not a style I am normally drawn to, but I'm glad I tried it! I will be trying other styles from Ara.

I have trouble finding a comfortable shoe due to bilateral bunions. These are the best fitting, most comfortable, stylish pair of shoes I have ever found in my unending quest for comfy shoes! They're well worth the price.

Love the shoes! They felt comfortable from day 1. I can wear them all day and feel there is good support. Great service from Zappos.

My online shopping is basically at Zappos. They have a surplus of everything. I recently purchased the ARA Rachel shoes and they are wonderful! Thank you Zappos!

Wonderful quality accompanied by wonderful fit and comfort. I actually bought them in black and liked them so much I also bought them in brown. The only place I go that I need any other shoes is to the gym.

Not only do these shoes look great with dress pants and jeans, they are so comfortable. Love them! They were recommended to me by my sister.

Very comfortable for most of the day. When one's feet swell, the shoes become a bit tight across the instep. They are good looking with pants and jeans.

Because I have a long narrow foot, and my 2nd toe is longer than my big toe, I have a hard time finding shoes that fit comfortably. I found just the shoe in this one! It's very smart looking and fits like a glove. It's well worth the money.

Beautiful shoe -- wish it came in wide width -- it was very tight on the top part of my foot...and a tiny bit loose on my heel. Bummer.

This is the best walking shoe I have ever purchased. Very comfortable and supportive; makes walking a pleasure.

Super comfortable and true to size. I wasn't wild about the "plasticy" looking heel, but they feel so great, I am more than willing to overlook it. Thank you Zappos!

The shoe size fit perfectly. The Ara Rachel was extremely comfortable and supportive. Worth the money.
